My therapist once told me:
Get good at bouncing back.
A rough conversation, a bad day, a skipped workout, a choice you regret, none of it has to ruin the rest of your week. You can reset whenever you decide to. You can't change what happened, but you can choose how long you hold onto it.
One of my worst fears in Nigeria is someone being kidnapped.
The reason I fear kidnapping so much is that “asking for ransom” — as badly as it sounds — is the best possible outcome, except they just let you go.
There are a lot more worse things that could happen.
- You could be repeatedly raped all year round.
- Someone could turn you into an object of their fetish desires.
- You could be slowly killed, harvesting different parts of your body at a time.
- You could be turned into a baby factory, getting impregnated every 9 months while selling off your babies
- You could be sold into modern slavery
- You could be killed to make a point.
Anything. Anything could happen to you without asking for money—and you have zero power. Zero.
Imagine what those young girls are going through now. Just try to imagine it.
And in this country, you cannot be hopeful there’s help coming for you.
Crazy.
To every youth corper heading to camp soon, especially the North, please, if you can, fly to your state of deployment. Even if it means borrowing, saving ahead, or asking for support.
The recent kidnappings are no joke. No one deserves that trauma 😔

I’ve reposted so many #justiceforochanya post that I just started to cry.
Poor baby 💔 💔
Let’s not forget how heavy the weight of a man is on a woman during sex, all that movement , then the tiredness and soreness afterwards …..now imagine a child !. Not one man but two raped Ochanya . Anal and vagina penetration for five years and NOBODY saved that poor baby.
We can give her and her family peace , we can reopen this case and save our girl child from rapists who are walking freely after committing such heinous crime.
